BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Following her two goal performance against Loyola Maryland on Saturday, sophomore Corinne Lyght was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, announced by the league Monday morning. Both of Lyght’s goals occurred in the second half, leading Lehigh to a 4-2 victory over the Greyhounds.
With the game tied at 2-2, Lyght used her speed to defeat three Loyola defenders before crossing the ball from just outside the 18-yard box. The sophomore’s cross soared past Greyhounds goalkeeper Paige Sim and found his way into the back of the net, giving Lehigh the 3-2 lead just two minutes into the second half.
The Mountain Hawks held on to their one goal lead for a majority of the second half until Lyght scored their fifth goal of the season with six minutes left to play. The sophomore sped past the Loyola defense and launched a shot from just inside the 18-yard box to secure the 4-2 victory for Lehigh.
